These Lively GIFs Teach the World about Safe Vaccine Transport
These lively GIFs teach the world about safe vaccine transport – The less sexy a story, the better suited for Christoph Niemann. The visual storyteller is best known for his ” Abstract Sunday ” column in The New York Times and his covers for The New Yorker.
He tells Mashable about his latest work, a series of animated GIFs that explain the process of vaccine cold chains, a means of keeping vaccinations cool and transporting them to countries in need. If he were to tell someone how cold chains worked, he figured the person would fall asleep within a minute and a half.
He says that’s why he chose the topic — his art could actually contribute something to the important conversation.
Niemann’s animations are part of The Art of Saving a Life, a new arts initiative that launched Wednesday. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation commissioned more than 30 renowned artists to explore the importance of life-saving vaccines, each through his or her own medium.
